I cant stand this.....

I noticed that the last remaining spearman in a city is about 3 times stronger than the next to last for some reason. Also I noticed that an archer is stronger against spearmen in a city than a swordsman with higher attack for some reason! Thats why spearmen always get on my nerves enough to get me to build a stack of catapults and bombard the crap out of them before taking them out.

Civ 3 has a hard on for spearmen, it's as simple of that, they are world beaters.

it doesn't help your attack per se, but when they punch back, it doesn't seem to hurt as much (i.e. your defend value goes up). I know it shouldn't work that way, but it seems to for me on a pretty consistant basis.

Umm... There is no "punch back" or anything like that... When you attack, the only value that counts is your attack value and that's the value that judges whether you win or lose a round (win, he loses hp, lose, you lose an hp).

It's all about sacrificing slave workers to the RNG gods. Then you will destroy those pukemen.

The CivIII Combat System will win the Nobel Prize.
